- Craig is brought in because he always hammers the hosts for skipping comedies from the last 10 years.
- McLovin is argued as the all-time Joey Pants; the counter is that Joey Pants is that guy in many movies while McLovin is only in about three, plus Promising Young Woman.
- Tag is offered as a decent recent comedy; Renner broke both arms making it and his arms were green-screened.
- A borrowed point: the funniest movie of the second half of the 2010s is The Wolf of Wall Street.
- Blockers' failure is blamed for studios not attempting this style again; it was the right idea, executed terribly.
- The hosts urge Craig's generation to get off TikTok and write comedies.
- At 26, his generation gets comedy more from social media; Superbad, Pineapple Express, 21 Jump Street and The Hangover were the biggest, with huge Facebook pages of Hangover quotes.
- This Is the End marked the end of comedy in a good way, with Neighbors less big among the speaker's generation.
